Saints: Against Publicity
God never wants us to seek earthly things(Romans 12:2). He has made it obvious in the life of his Saints too. They never liked publicity. Many great Saints lived the lives of hermits in forests to have a deep spiritual awakening. More so, Saints like Padre Pio never liked the spiritual phenomenon of the Stigmata… Continue reading

Holiness Per Se
Holiness is required for everyone who wants to be with God. He requires us to be holy because he, himself, is holy(1Peter 1:16). More so, Christ is the epitome of holiness(Revelation 5:4,5) and we all should strive to be like him(Ephesians 5:1,2). No defiled thing enters Heaven(Revelation 21:27).

Faith and Reason

St Anthony of Padua saw Jesus at the moment of… Continue reading

Hope of Christians
There is hope for everyone who believes in the Lord. He does a new thing with His Providence(Isaiah 43:19) and our hope will not be cut off(Proverbs 23:18).

To a new person reading it, the Bible may seem it is giving out contradicting or opposing opinions to the same problem. Many Saints knew the importance of Bible. St Thomas… Continue reading

Saints at Work
The Saints in Heaven pray for us constantly. They see to it that all the people represented by them are doing well. One of these instances could be seen in the Bible wherein Jeremiah –long after his death– is praying for the Jews and assures his prayer (2Maccabees 15:13-16). Many of the modern day Saints… Continue reading
